Mr. Cameron
Birth: 1799-03-08 Death: 1889-06-26
writes in answer to my letter
"I have pleasure in the
opportunity of returning
one of the many acts of
personal civility received
from your husband" –
I will thank him
for his kindness in
attending to my
request so soon –
I do not yet learn where
Augustus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
will be stationed–
Dr. Robinson
Birth: 1804-02-04 Death: 1889-07-28
has a nephew relative
Unknown
living on one of the Hawaiian
Islands, who has suggested
to him to apply for
the situation of physician
in at
the Government
Hospital at Honolulu.
His son William
Birth: 1834-06-18 Death: 1921-10-21
who has always been a
Republican is going to
Washington to make
the application. Any
aid you can give him
will be gratefully received.
I cannot tell him positively
but think the Navy
department has charge
of all hospitals except
those of the District
of Columbia which are
under the care of the
"Interior"–
The Dr. feels competent
to accommodate himself
to the wishes of his em-
ployers by adopting
either the old or
new School practice
having been in the
former 15 and the
latter 20 years – Of
course he would
recommend the latter
I will write a line
to Fred

by William
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
– as I suppose it's doubtful whether
[right Margin] you can see him –
Our Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
is quite sick with a cold
I hope will be well
in a few days –
Your own
Frances –
